This is a case designed by aphillippe for Thomas Baart's popular split keyboard, the Kyria.
STLs: https://social.thangs.com/m/58186
Specs
- Tenting support using M5 bolts plus an additional 10-35 degrees with optional risers.
- Supports low-profile keycaps (lowered section in front of thumb keys), which the official case struggles with.
- Optional trackpad mount (removes access to one thumb key and visibility to the OLED).
Extras
- raked keycaps for thumb keys
- knob for rotary encoder
Printing
I printed using matt black PLA with a 0.6mm nozzle and 0.4mm layer height. I've only included files for the right side. If you want the left side, just mirror the files in your slicer.
